SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Popish Press overflows with delight at the " im prudence" of our late attacks upon the rancorous, tyranni cal, and brutalizing spirit of the Irish Roman Catholic Priesthood—attacks which are characterized by that Press as betraying an " anti-Irish" spirit, and as giving displeasure to the more respectable members of that " party whose livery we wear." That it is for a political faction to have left itself without so much as an apology for an argument. The Popery and revolution mongers can do nothing but lie, and cheat, and swagger. Such is their notion of political controversy, and such their sinews of war. If we have acted imprudently in speaking truth, and offensively in reasoning from it, here we stand with minds made up to reiterate our rashness—to administer yet more largely than before to the " gratification" of those worthy Popish aspirants who regard our modes of thought and expression as so delectable, and to provoke still further the displeasure of those incogniti whose " livery," we are told, "we wear"—a phrase which comes naturally enough to writers who never dreamed in their lives of voluntary service, or of embarking in any cause but for hire. We, as Conservatives, are taxed with having shown that " Toryism is still Toryism," and that all our "professions of moderation and liberality are nothing but a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal." Now it concerns us very little whether " Toryism be• Toryism still or not." We never were Tories nor abettors of Toryism, which means, if it have any specific meaning, hostility to constitutional free. dom, and which, in its historical character, implies an at tachment to Popery, and a league with Papists for the de struction of civil and religious liberty. If Toryism, there fore, be still unchanged, and if the brand of Popish and ty rannical predilections be still its distinguishing feature, the curs who bark at us had best bethink themselves how much they or their employers have gained by our showing up of the " Tories." But our " professions of moderation and liberality" are taxed against us as grounds whereon to ac cuse us of hollowness and untruth. Our answer is, that we have not been called upon to make any such profes sions. We saw not the necessity of making any. We were not conscious of immoderate or illiberal views, and had no such distrust of our own integrity as to plaster over the want of it, as others did, by fierce pretensions to virtues which they had not. The contemp tible hypocrisy of some among the worst of mankind in their eternal boastings of " liberality and moderation," when they meant nothing but intolerance, violence, and re volution, affixed so much suspicion to those heretofore ho nourable names, that honest men would have felt disgraced by the use of them. We are charged with an " anti- Irish" spirit, and with hatred to " the people of Ireland." The charge is a deliberate falsehood. Resort is here had to the fraudulent perversion of words which O'Connell has introduced, and made current with the disaffected faction, whereby the herd of agitators and Popish schemers against the State assume to themselves to be the Irish nation, while the Queen's loyal subjects, who would enforce the laws, and the brave, intelligent, and independent Protes tants of Ireland, who would again, as they have done fre quently, defend, at the peril of life and fortune, the Church, and Constitution, and British monarchy, and em pire, are slandered as " illiberal," and reviled, and threatened, as enemies to the people of Ireland"—a pretty specimen of a " people," God save the mark' But the burden of the rebel song is, that we have set up the " howl of No-Popery"—(and if we had) — but of that anon. We have set up no accusation against Popery which we have not brought home against political P?Pery—that is, against the machinations of the priest, by evidence incontrovertible, and by arguments which the as sailants of Protestantism have not dared to meet. Popery is now, and has for years past been, engaged in an uninter rupted aggression against the State. There is not one of our institutions—the most essential to our limited monarchy —the mo s t i nsepara bl e f rom t h e ma i ntenance o f pu bli c an d private property—the dearest to the hearts and affections of the people of Great Britain, and to the whole race of Irish Protestants, which the Popish faction, under the guidance of the Popish priesthood, has not been labouring systematically to destroy. Popery, with a perpetual whine and snivel about th e oppress i ons i t en d ures , h as b een pro jecting, perpetrating, and inflicting upon us Protestants the most grievous and appalling injuries. It is the most intolerant, aggressive, and tyrannical rower exist or that ever has appeared on earth. The mind of man is its chief and selected victim. It probes the very soul, and tortures and ends by enslaving it. We Protestants are reduced to mere self-defence : we are vilified and de nounced from altars, and menaced by nocturnal bands of armed, sworn, unrelenting, and sanguinary fanatics : we are denied the lawful right of resistance, and, when we do not tamely submit to be trampled on by the hoofs of a savage multitude, spurning as all laws but those of their own ruffian societies, but presume to lift a hand in defence of house or property, we are held up to the world as blood stained monsters, and the tribunals of justice, whence we seek redress, are described as hostile to " the people of Ireland." Why, is this not true ? True to the letter ? Is it to be answered by a hireling in one of their news papers miscalling our statements a " No Popery howl ?" Why should we not cry out "No Popery," when the yell of " No Protestantism" stuns us from every Pa pist throat ? We say again they are tormenting the mo narchy ; they are assailing us on all sides wantonly, with out the shadow of provocation, and in pursuance of a fixed plot for the extirpation of Protestantism, root and branch, from Ireland. Let them try, if they be so minded, the game of extirpation by force, and if one sec t or ot h er must inhabit Ireland alone, we are ready .for the trial, thoug h not of our seeking, and will t rus t i n t h e Protestant ar m, under, and with reverenc e f or , the Midity One who h as hitherto . upheld our faith an d f ree d om. But if the issue be left to fraud, without a timely effort by those who have watched its movements and machinations to expose them to the world, there is an end of us. Brave men who fight in the open day are no match for the enemy they have to deal with in this p r i es th oo d. Th e b att l e f or re li g i ous and civil liberty is then, for half a century, lost.—Times. Two of our Contemporaries of adverse political senti ment, each occasionally distinguished by talent aid twaddle —the Times and the Globe—have for the last two days waxed violently wrathful against each other on a subjectof whi c h b o th appear l amenta b ly i ncapa bl e o f appreciating the merits—the question of duelling. 13oth discuss the necessity of the practice more in reference to precedent and auth or it y t h an to the existing habits and feelings of society. B o th, h owever, agree in the propriety of putting an end to the custom of satisfying wounded feelings by an appeal to mortal weapons. But while denouncing the abuses, half-ludicrous and half-horrible, to which duelling has been perverted, let us not f orget that in the state of transition from barbarism to civilization duelling has exer cised a . powerful eff ec t i n promoting the amenities and courtesies of social life. In the more advanced stage of civilization to which soc i ety i 3 progressing, duelling, . however, becoming not only less necessary to the preser vation of the uslges of respectable life, but too abhorrent to the general feelings of the con.munity to be resorted to, even in extreme cases, without provoking the expression of g eneral condemnation. It is not, however, a subject in which the Legislature is particularly called upon to inter fere. It is a custom which, having its origin in public opinion, will cease when the sanction of that opinion is withheld. To this conclusion we are fast advancing. The existing laws, as evinced in the recent trial of the two young gentlemen pre.st nt at the duel at Wim bledon, are sufficiently stringent to suppress duelling if it were to be suppressed by legal means ; but it is to the cen sure of social opinion more than to the law that we must look for the abolition of this sanguinary and revolting prac tice.—Morning Advertiser.

NEW SOUTH WALES. MURDER OF SEVEN MEN BY THE BLACKS ON THEIR WAY TO PORT PHILLIP. The Sydney Herald, of May 21, just received, contains the following account of a dreadful catastrophe, which, we are afraid, must in some measure be attributed to the con duct of the white people themselves : The murder of Mr. Faithful's servants, by the blacks, having created a more than ordinary sensation among the settlers in the interior, we have obtained the following au thentic particulars of that desperate outrage. It appears that on the morning of the 11th ultimo, a party of men in charge of Mr. Faithful's sheep, on the route to Port Phil lip, were preparing to proceed from the Winding Swamp, about thirty miles beyond the Ovens River, on their way to the Goulburn, where it was understood that good sheep stations might be had ; and while the bullocks were being yoked, the men with the drays heard the shouts of the shepherds crying out for help. These met), who were at a short distance from the encampment collecting their sheep, were presently seen running with great speed towards the dray, pursued by a body of blacks throwing spears after them. Their companions near the encampment, three of whom were armed with guns, immediately ran to their as sistance, and, if possible, to drive off the blacks, whn, lay that time were within 300 or 400 yards of the camp. One of these men, named Bentley, fired his gun in the air, think ing that such a display would intimidate them ; but it bad no effect. The blacks still came forward, cautiously shel tering themselves behind the trees in their path, until, when within near approach of the adverse party, one came for ward and was in the act of deliberately poising his spear, when Bentley shot him dead, and was himself, immediately after, pierced with three spears. This unfortunate man was last seen desperately fighting with the butt end of his musket. The combat now became general ; spears flew in all direc tions, and several shots were fired without effect, owing to the caution exercised by the blacks of interposing the trees between themselves and the defensive party, but still gra dually closing upon the latter. It was now seen that further resistance would be of no avail, and that in flight lay the only chance of safety—as the blacks continued to increase in numbers as they advanced. There were 15 in all of Mr. Faithful servants, out of which seven in number were killed by the blacks, and one other so severely wounded that his recovery is considered hopeless. When attempting to make their escape, a line was opened by the blacks, con sisting of about 150 in number, who thus speared at the fugitives right and left as they passed. At about 100 yards distance from the scene of this outrage, another strong party of armed blacks were drawn up, doubtless as a reserve, but they took no part in the contest. There could not, we are assure, have been fewer than 300 fighting men present— uot an old man was seen among them. The party in charge of the sheep and cattle had remained at this particular place from the Saturday previous, waiting the arrival of Mr. George Faithful, who was only a day's stage behind, and was then momentarily expected. During their stay, every precaution was taken by the overseer and the rest to keep on friendly terms with the natives, who constantly hovered about the encampment in groups of ten or twenty at a time. So friendly did they appear that neither the overseer nor any of the men, save Bentley, anticipated any hostile inten tion ; but his suspicion was excited by the fact of no women appearing at any time among the blacks, and by finding, while going his rounds as guard, the night preceding the at tack, a large number of spears at a short distance from the camp, which he concealed. All the sheep, except 130, we understand, have been recovered, and some of the cattle ; the remainder, it is expected, may also be recovered when a party sufficiently strong to protect themselves from the blacks can be formed to go in search of them. The Sydney Gazette of May 22 adds the following : A gentleman who arrived overland from Port Phillip the other day, informs us that the intelligence of the murder of so many of Mr. Faithful's men by the blacks on their route to Port Phillip has spread great consternation over the set tlement, where it is looked on as amounting to an actual prohibition of all intercourse by land with the parent Co lony. A party of the Mounted Police, under the command of Lieutenant Smith, who had been dispatched in search of the murderers, had returned unsuccessful, their orders being not to fire on the blacks unless for self-preservation. They had stumbled upon a party of nearly 300 natives, well armed, surrounding an immense fire, on which a bul lock, or some similarly large animal (it was impossible to discover what), was being roasted. On discovering the Police the blacks started up and brandished their spears, which no persuasion would induce them to lay aside, the party was consequently compelled to retreat without Lc complisbing their object. The survivors of Mr. Faithful's party strenuously persist in denying that any act on their part provoked the commission of the outrage ; indeed, from their statement, it would appear to have been a deli berately formed scheme, which had been in contemplation for some time previously. It may be that their statement is true, but we feel assured from our own observation of the manners and customs of the Aborigines, that some aggres sion on the part of the whites, if not of Mr. Eaithful's party, probably of some party that preceded his, must have excited the blacks to the commission of so horrible an out- rage. To protect the travellers by land to and from Port Phillip, it has now become a matter of absolute necessity, that stockades, manned by an adequate military force, should be stationed at regular distances along the route ; until that is done there can be no safety for the traveller, and all communication by land must necessarily cease. On Tuesday and Wednesday last, one of the lakes in the grounds at Woodley was drawn off, for the purpose of cleaning out the weeds and mud, and, in consequence, a vast weight of 6sh was taken. It consisted of the pike, carp, perch, roach, and eels; two of the pike were enormous, one weigh ing 301b5., and the other 271b5., but the rest of this species averaged about 51bs. each ; the carp were in abundance of albs. and Elba. each, and the perch vary large and numerous. Reading Mercury. On Monday a dinner was giver, in celebration of the opening of the Bankside Steam-boat Pier at the London Bridge-house Hotel. This pier is situated on the southern side of the Thames, near Southwark-bridge, arid is intended for the accommodation of passengers proceeding up and down the river in the small vessels belonging to the London and Westminster Steam-boat Company, and will eventually be used as a place of embarkation by the Gravesend boats. About 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner, and after the usual loyal toasts were duly honoured, the Chairman, Mr. Sheers, to whom the opening of the pier is chiefly owing, proposed " Success to the new undertaking," The toast was most heartily re sponded to; for the pier, though humble in appearance, was generally considered to he a groat public convenience, as affording for the first time a means of landing from steam boats between Southwark and the Strand bridges. On Monday an inquest was held before Mr. W. Car ter, Coroner for Surrey, at the sign of the Pilgritn, Kenning ton•lane, Lambeth, on vi7tv of the body of Mr. John William Bishop, aged 51 years, who came by his death under the fol lowing melancholy circumstances :—lt appeared from the evi. dance that the deceased, accompanied by his son, gr.uld children, and servant, left their residence, No. 1, Providence place, Kennington-lane, in a light chaise-cart, and proceeded to Norwood on Sunday, the 30th ult., where they spent the day, and were returning home in the evening, when in the act of descendin g the b ill near the French Horn Inn, the horse started oif at full speed, and ran the eha;se on the bink with such force as to overturn it. The deceased was thrown out, and on lifting him up his left leg was found to be trokrn. A surgeon, named Fowes, livin in the Great Dover-road, Southwark, who happened to b 3 in the neighbourhood, saw the accident, and recommended that the unfortunate man chould be removed home without loss of time. This was done, but, notwithstand ing every assistance was rendered, he gradually got worse, and expired en Friday last. Verdict—" Accidental death." lilt , Lord E. 'rhynne hounded a him.

On the approach t the keeper he again broke away, and took straight down Ben y Glo to the Tilt, a distance of six miles, where; having been once more brought to bay, he was shot by Mr. Butter, of Fas kally, who was corning up from his residence at the time, all the dogs being still with the deer, the two first dogs that were slipped at him having thus never left hint for seventeen hours. They were taken home in a very tired and exhausted condition. PENRITII AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—We have often endeavoured to attract the attention of the public to the great importance of a railway communication be tween this city sad Penrith, and it now gives us great pleasure to refer our readers to an advertisement in another column, for bolding a meeting at Peurith on the subject. We think, however, that the Committee who have taken upon themselves the onerous duty of enquiring into the traffic have under-rated some of the items ; but in this they have acted wisely; they show a fair remunera tion for outlay of capital, and subscribers will be much more gratified to receive that extra interest which they did not anticipate, than to have been misled in the first instance. On reference to the exposition of the traffic upon the Maryport and Carlisle line, published by the Committee of Directors WI observed the item of 20,7271. 3s. for the annual transit of, passengers, to which 100 per cent. is added, producing 41,4541. 65., and as we have no reason to doubt the correctness of this statement, surely, on the Great North Road, with eight mails, a Liverpool, Manchester, and Express coach to London, passing end repassing daily upon upon it, to ssy nothing of the cont i nued run of carriages going through our city, a larger sum than 9,000/. per annum might been .de calculated upon in this it em; b ut the error is on We shall make some f urt h er observations upo n . this project after the meeting ; meanwhile, we urge every one interested lf re of this district t o ta k e shares, that the work may be commenced with the least p oss ibl e delay.— the have right , Carlisle Patriot. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1838. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Ocr. 3. TRYE AND LIGHTFOOT'S BANKRUPTCY. The sitting of the Court took place this day for the decla ration of the final dividend and the proof of debts. Proofs to the amount of 3,000/_ were admitted. Upwards of 50,000/. in all have been proved upon this estate. Mr. Maynard, a solicitor to the fiat, said it was the wish of the creditors' assignee, as representing the creditors generally, to present to the Official Assignee fifty pounds, as a mark of their sense of his exertions in recovering property for the benefit of the estate, and so speedily winding up the affairs. Mr. Commissioner Evans must, previously to recognising the act, communicate with Mr. Commissioner Merirale. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Ocr. 3. A PICTURE DEALER. —William Neate, a picture dealer, late of Fieet-street, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, for a Mr. Bullen, surgeon, Farringdon-street. Several other croditcrs appeared to prefer complaints. In this case, which was not concluded ye , terday when we went to Tress. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN, in giving judgment, said the insolvent had behaved in a most fraudulent manner to Mr. Bullen. With respect to Mr. Wilson, he could bring an action of trover, and the sa.'ne remark would apply to a se cond picture of Mr. Bullen which had been pawned. The insolvent bad been a long time in prison, but it was not to be taken into consideration. He remanded the insolvent from his petition fur a period of twelve calendar months, for fraudu lently contracting the debt with Mr. Bullen by means of a breach of trust. An application was then made to the Court, under the 88th section of the new Act, to stay the adjudicwion until Mr. Bullen could lodge a detainer. The Court, on reference to the clause, granted the application. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Q UEEN- SQ UARE. Benjamin Taylor, a navigator, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged .with unlawfully and maliciously cutting and wounding George Harper, a greengrocer, residing in King, street, Westminster. Prosecutor staid that as the prisoner was drunk at the time of committing the act, and now expressed his deep regret, he was not desirous of pressing for more than his doctor's bill, and other expenses which had been incurred. The Magistrate abandoned the capital charge, but ordered defendant to find bail for his appearance at the sessions. William Baker, who was fully committed a few days since for picking the p elet of a Mr. Stephens, at Astley's, was again br,:ught up, in order to ascertain if either of the other two gentlemen who had complained of being robbed could prefer any further charge against the prisoner. A person in the office, attired in a white hat, said that the prisoner had been charged at Marlborough-street Office only two days previously with stealing sonic articles of wearing ap parel from a gentleman while in a state of drunkenness. ironer, with :he utmost effrontery, said, that if he got out of prison he would make the gentleman who had just spoken the present of half-a-crown for a t‘ new gossamer," in conse quence of the " lift" he had given him. Prisoner was then sent for trial. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, John Deley, an old man-o'-war's man, who bad lost a leg in defence of his country, was brought up in the cus tody of police constable Dowsing, No. 51 E division, charged with having collected a mob of persons in Holborn. The constable on Tuesday night last saw the prisoner standing near the club-stone, in Holborn, offering some luci fer matches for sale, and he was surrounded by a crow d o f persons. Witness gave him two or three chances of escape by moving him on, but be remained in Holbern until nine o'clock, when he again found him surrounded by a crowd, and he took him to the station-house, and charged him with collecting a mob. The prisoner, it appeared, was selling China lucifers, which light by simply rubbing them against any substance, and therefore excited the curiosity of passengers. Mr. BENETT could not see any offence in a p erson se lli ng lucifer matches in the street. They might as well take a shop keeper into custody for disposing of Ins goods. The r.ri3oner said that a great many pe,sors bought the matches of him, and he did. not think there was much harm in selling them for the purpose of getting an honest living. Mr. BENETT—You certainly hate no right to collect a mob in the streets, but you have a right to sell your articles if you arc quiet, and they cannot prevent you, but I should ad vise you to walk on when the police tell you to do so. I shall discharge you. The prisoner thanked his worship, and left the office, saying it was a bard case that be should have bcen taken into custody and locked up all night. Alfred John Bottomley was finally examined, charged by Mr. Richard Coventry, goldsmith, of No. 34, Perceval-street, Clerkenwell, with having robbed him to a considerable amount. The prisoner, who was much affected, said nothing in his de- - fence, and was fully committed for trial. A ludicrous scene occurred on Sunday in the en closure appropriated to the monkeys in the Jardin dcs Plantes. By some chance or other an unfortunate cat had found its way in among the nimble inhabitants of this vast cage, who imme diately made common cause, and assailed the intruder. Puss showed fight, and for a time, by the aid of her formidable ta lons, kept her enemies at bay ; but at length the big ape came foremost in the fight, and, seizing the cat by the neck, forced it down with its nose upon the planks, and very scientifically began with great deliberation to bite off its claws, and as he finished each claw, he put the disarmed paw to his nose to ascertain that all was smooth. This process was continued till the screams of poor puss and the shouts of the spectators attracted the notice of the keepers, who came and put an end to the operation. THE EGRE.—A few clays ago a gentleman from Lincoln went to the Trent side, near Gainsborough, to witness the return of the tide, when, not being aware of the mean in g of " Ware Egre," as the boatmen call out to one another on the appearance of the wave, although but a moment before he was standing on dry land, some feet from the water's edge, he i found himself, to his astonishment, up to his middle n water. This phenomenon we are told, is only to be seen in one other river in England, In other places the tide is seen to run re gularly one way, till it arrives at the lowest, when a flood takes place. then a gradual turn the eth er w ay, which co ntinues till it arrives at the high-wat er mar k ; b u t h e re the tide continues to ebb until it meets with th e re t urn i ng tid e , which_ makes itf appearance in the shape of a large wave, bearing down all op position, and sometimes increasing the height of the river three feet in a moment.

THE DEVIL'S LAKE.—A public meeting was held by the citizens of Logansport (Indiana), on the 11th of August, for the purpose of examining the " Devil's Lake," about 26 miles from that place. " The well known trxthion," says the Logansport Telegraph,"respecting the monster in the Devil's Lake,' and the many confirmatory statements of credible citizens, have placed the existence of a monstrous creature in the waters of the Lake almost beyond a dout. The length of the nondescript has been variously estimated at from 40 to 70 foot. The Lake is situated in Fulton county, shout 26 miles in a ncrth-eastern direction from Logansport, and it appears that every attempt to ascertain its depth has hitherto failed."

In consequence of the reports from Baw-street Police-office, inserted in the Morning Papers of Saturday last, Mr. Minshull received an anonymous ccmmunication, enclosing a statement of some interesting facts relative to " Admiral" Parker, who acted as the leader in the mutiny at the Nore, and was exe cuted June, 1797, as well as to the sufferings of Mrs. Parker on that melancholy cecasion. The writer hoped the worthy Magistrate would endeavour by some means to give publicity to the statement, in order to bring the distressed circumstances of the widow under the eye of some benevolent individuals who might be induced to assist her in her old age. The fol lowing is the substance of the statement " In the months of February and March, 1797, a spirit of rebellion appeared in the Channel fleets of Portsmouth and Plymouth, and the mutiny soon became general in the fleet at Spithead, to that delegates on board the Queen Charlotte, in the month of April, unanimously agreed that until the griev ances v,ere redressed, and an act of indemnity passed, they would not lift an anchor. Happily this mutiny was sup pressel, and the King's proclamation of pardon issued April 22, 1797. Such a joyful conclusion gave universal satis factian ; but the high bounties of twenty or thirty guineas per man for the navy, and the many desperate persons who had thus entered, together with the dregs of prisons, who had been forced into our ships of war, and the spirit of the times, in one month produced another mutiny onboard the fleet at the Nore anchorage, near Sheerness, which spread to the ships of war in Yarmouth Roads, and to the North Sea fleet of Admiral Lord Duncan, then cruiziag off the Texel, in Holland, to blockade the Dutch fleet. This mutiny at the Nore broke out on the 22d of May, 1797, and continued until the month of July. The principal person who cons ducted this mutiny was the husband of Ann Parker, who signed himself at this time as Richard Parker, President of the Committee of Delegates on board his Majesty's ship 'Sandwich,' or, as the sailors csvUed him, and he was more generally styled, ' Admiral Parker.' This person was a native of Exeter. His father was a respectable tradesman, and kept a baker's shop in St. Sidwell's. Richard was brought up to the sea, and received a valuable education, learning na vigation and everything necessary to qualify him for com mand. He had been in the Royal Navy for some years as midshipman and master's mate, and at one time acting as lieutenant. Having formed an acquaintance with Ann Ma chardy, who belonged to a respectable family in Aberdeen shire, they were married at St. Sidwell's, Exeter, and the Clergyman's certificate, extracted from the church books, de scribes the ' Admiral' as Richard Parker, gentleman, mar ried by license.' Having embarked in a speculation in Scot land, which failed, and living with his wife and two children in Edinburgh, in a style beyond his means, embarrassments followed, and he became so reduced that he entered a naval tender at Leith, and took the bounty, as thousands more did at this time who were in pecuniary difficulties, and this rash step gave the greatest alarm to his wife, who immediately hastened to a wealthy brother in Aberdeenshire, to get two able seamen as substitutes, and save her husband from the horrors of war. To add to their misfortunes a child died, and their difficulties became daily more embarrassing. " The regulating Captain had promised to wait fourteen days; but although Mrs. Parker returned within that time, she was only son' en ,ugh to catch a glimpse of the ship leaving Leith Roada for the Nose. Lamenting over his errors, and distracted about his amiable and belomd wife, Parker fancied, just after sailing from Leith, that he saw his dead infant float ing on the water. He sprung overboard, and although the vessel instantly hove to, twenty minutes elapsed befo:e they succeeded in getting him on board. " On his irrivar he was placed on board the Sandwich, guard and receiving-ship, moored off the Nore Light-vessel, at the entrance of the Thames and the Medway. This was early in May, 1797, and his disconsolate wife returned to her friends in Aberdeenshire, after finding that all her endea vours to procure his freedom were unsuccessful. Admiral Buckner was at this time the Port Admiral, and the mutiny was now concocting by secret meetings in his Majesty's ship Sandwich, which Parker had joined. He was soon discovered to be a fine, intelligent, bold, and energetic cha racter, and secret proposals were made to him to take the lead, and become President, or Admiral. He considered what the seamen demanded only reasonable, and consented to become their President, and did everything in his power to restrain their excesses, but strenuously exerted himself to secure their rights, which were afterwards allowed them by a Committee of Nasal Inquiry. Parker was tried on board his Majesty's ship iVeptune, and executed at the fore-yard arm of his Majesty's ship Sandwich. His wife heard a rumour that one Richard Parker was at the head of the mutiny, and although unwilling to believe that it was her husband, she hastened to Edinburgh, where she was seized by officers, and taken before the Lord Pro vost and searched for letters from her husband ; but she had none, having heard nothing from him, and she was discharged. Having plenty of money from her brother (since dead) she took the mail for London, and arrived hf..re on Wednesday night. She bad her luggage conveyed to the Hoop and Horseshoe, on Tower hill, and upon inquiry she there learned that Parker had been tried, but knew not the result. On Thursday she gave a guinea to a person to write a petition to the King in favour of her husband, and hastened to St. James's Palace with it. Here she read a proclamation on the walls, offering a reward of 1,000/. for Parker, dead or alive. The excitement about him in Loudon was very great. On saying she had a petition for the King she was told that any one could be presented except for l'arker. She gained admission, however, and a Lord in Waiting took it from her, and in a short time an answer was brought to her that an express had already gone off with the decision of the Council, without saying what that decision was. She immediately took a coach for Rochester, and on her arrival went off to the King's ship, where she learned that Parker was to be executed the next day. That night she sat up in trembling anxiety, and about four next morning went to the stairs to hire a boat. The waterman, seeing her alone, said, No, not for one, for the brave Admiral Parker is to die to. day, and I shall get any money I ask for a party.' She then entered a Sheerness market-boat, and put off to the Sandwich ; but no boat was suffered to come alongside. She called for Parker, but a sentinel threatened to fire if she attempted to come near. She saw her husband on the main-deck with the Chaplain, and, en observing her, he cried out, " There's my dear wife from Scotland," but she could not make any communication to him, and was not permitted to go on board. She heard him entreat to have the 55th Psalm read, and she immediately fainted and was taken on shore. Having recovered, she took a boat again, and, with out telling who she was, she was taken to the ship, but the execution was over; and, on calling out, " Pass the word for Richard Parker," she was answered, " His body is just gone ashore to be interred in the New Burial-ground, and you may come on board now." She refused, and was rowed ashore. The corpse was just buried, but nut deep, and she learned that the surgeons would probably disinter him that night. She climbed over the wall with the most extraordinary excitement, and tore up some loose earth and the lid of the shell containing the body, until she was able to grasp her husband's cold hand. She returned over the wall, hired two women and five men, and a caravan, and got the body disin terred that night, and at three o'clock on Saturday morning, she started in the van with one woman and her husband's corpse. On arriving at Rochester she hired a caravan to London, with two good horses, for six guineas. The roads were lined with persons inquiring about Admiral Parker,' but the man who drove could not satisfy their curiosity, for he was not aware that the body of Parker was in his own lan. They reached London at eleven o'clock at r' e llat, but an express from Sheerness communicating the intelligence of the removal of the body had preceded them, and the greatest excitement prevailed to see the corpse. She took the body to her lodgings and sat beside it, but the anxiety of the people be came so great, that at two o'clock in the morning the house was filled with people, and such was the alarm in London 'that Admiral Parker's body would create a civil war,' that the Lord Mayor was ordered down to her lodgings. His Lord ship inquired what she meant to do with the body, and she re plied that she intended to convey it in a hearse to the family vault in Scotland or Exeter. This he positively refused to allow her to do, stating that it would occasion a civil war, but permitted her to inter the body in London. A gentleman called the next day and offered a vault in Whitechapel Church, which she thankfully accepted. Oa Monday the crowd was so great that to preserve the public peace the body was re moved by order to Aidgate workhouse, Nightingale-lane, St. Katherine's. Mrs. Parker was now summoned to Lambeth street police-office to declare who helped her to disinter the body ; but neither promises nor threats could induce her to speak of any but two women. The body of Parker was ul timately removed through an immense crowd to Whitechapel Church, and Mrs. Parker was admitted through the Rector's house. Frayers having been solemnly read over the corpse, she signed a paper for the Press that she was satisfied. Parker, in a will, made on board the Sandwich, signed by the Chap lain and a Lieutenant Hardy, had made hr sole executrix to his estate et Exeter, which she enjoyed until eight years since, when it was, according to her account, fraudulently taken from her. On Friday last she was conveyed by Shackell, the officer, to the hospital; but as she required two dresses before being ad mitted there, and as the poor creature had only what she ap peared in at the office, she could not enter . that day, and was conducted to the workhouse, where she was immediately taken in until she could be provided with the necessary &Hetes re quired on entering the hospital. O n Saturday "Baron Rehausen, the Swedish Ambassador, accompanied by Messrs. Cant and Hughes, the American Ministers at the Court of Stockholm, were present at Worship-street police-offiee the greater part of the day, and took great interest in the proceedings. A slim flaxen-haired youth was apprehended by a po li ce agent the day before yest •rday in the act of insinuating Lis taper fingers into the pocket of a redingote a he proprie taire, the proprietor of which was gazing intently on the litho graphic wonders displayed in Aube r t' s s h op w i n d ow, at the corner of the Passage Vero - Dodat. On being take n b e f ore the Commissary of Police fir the q uar t er , t h e thief alleged that the hallucination which had induced him to mistake his pocket for his own had b^ en occas i oned by his neighbour's ardent desire to procure a sum of money sufficient to pay for a set of the Robert Macaire caricatures, for the purchase of which he had already saved 25f. The • statement appeared so extraordinary to the Commissary, that he had the curiosity to send to the printseller's, where it was ascertained that the thief had really been bargaining for the caricatures in question. Notwithstanding his artistical propensities, the Commissary committed him for trial, to give him an opportunity of eluci. dating in court his somewhat . novel doct rine on the subject of private prope rt y . Ga li gnant's Messenger. A girl, not more than fourteen years of age, who had the care of the children of a physician on the Boulevard 13caumarchais, threw herself the other evening from a w indow of the fourth story into the street, and was killed on the spot. The cause by which one so young could have been driven to an act so desperate has not been ascertained. NEW PATENTS. (From Newton and Berry's List for Septembc.r.)

LOUIS THE SIXTEENTH'S PLATE.—A Havre Paper gives the following account of the Telemaque, sunk in the Seine below Rouen, supposed to contain valuable effects belonging to Louis the Sixteenth and his family, and to re cover which a Company, as we hare before stated, hat lately been formed. 1n.1789, when the King and the Royal Family became alarmed by the progress of the revolution, and deter mined to attempt an escape into .England, they secretly hired the Telemaque, at Rouen, for the purpose of sending over a portion of their property. The vessel was laden with various effects and a great number of very heavy barrels, brought for several days in succession from Paris in covered waggons. These barrels were conveyed secretly on board, and covered with a quantity of faggots and firewood, which was pretended to be the only freight, and destined for Cherbourg. The Telemaque, not being able to carry all that was sent from Paris, another smaller vessel was hired. They both left Rouen at the same time, and dropped down the river till within a short distance of Quillebceuf, where they came to an anchor, waiting for the turn of the tide. In the meantime the affair became known to the revolutionists, and orders came to stop the ship!. The captains, however, disobeyed them, and, weighing anchor, endeavoured to escape : but the water still being low, the Telemaque stranded on a sandbank, and was completely embedded. The captain and all on board, except one boy, who was drowned, reached the shore. Several endeavours have at subsequent periods been made to raise the Telemaque, but have failed from her being covered with sand; a change, however, in the bank, from its shifting, is said to have lately taken place, so as to give rea sonable hopes of success in recovering the valuable property supposed to be still in her hold. We should have noticed that the companion of the Tentelaque got nearer the mouth of the river, but was there overtaken and brought back to Rouen, searched, and found to contain a large sum of money and part of the royal plate. The Canada papers state tnat it was found impos sible to obtain any other executioner to carry into effect the sentence of the law in the case of Moreau than the Sheriff, who was accordingly compelled to perform this very painful duty with his own hand.
